THE GOLDEN COMPASS.
The plot:
The plot on this is pretty good, it starts off with this orphan girl named lyra.
In her world every human person has a pet which guides them and in this film they are called daemon's. Because she is young, Lyra's daemon can change his shape to appear as any animal he chooses. Adults' daemons settle in to one shape and don't change.
There has been many children going missing from lyras town and they have been getting stolen off people they call goblins, and lyra is the only one who can find out where they are by reading a golden compass that reveals anything that is hidden. She then gets into trouble with the leader of the goblins and then runs away from her ( yes the leader of the goblins turns out to be a woman) she then gets saved by the Egyptians and they all go on the hunt for the missing children.
The cast:

Nicole Kidman ... Marisa Coulter

My verdict:
This is a very good movie, its got great special effects and a great storyline.
There is plenty of funny bits in there too.
Although its not too much different to other films like this one its good for the kids (big and small) if you like films like Harry potter you will like this film. There is an alcoholic polar bear in it too that ends up being king. He was the king but had been tricked out of his throne. I enjoyed this film even if it was just to watch the polar bears in it. The best thing I love about this film is its one that you can watch a few times without getting bored. If you like adventure and fantasy films you will love this one.
Summary: one to watch!

- 19/04/08 ermm mayby but this is my review and my opinion, so i have wrote it the way i percived it to be. and i would prefer you to keep your nose out and stop trying to tell me about my opinion if you dissagree fair enough! everyone has thier own view of things which is the hole point of writing reviews is to express what your thoughts are, so next time write your own review instead of interfering in other peoples. |
